Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of electrophoresis. It is of particular interest in terms of its applications in genetic engineering and molecular biology.
  • the invention which is based upon the discovery of a new kind of electrophoresis makes it possible, inter alia, to carry out important analyses which were not possible or practical with previously known techniques. Potential applications include the separation of chromosomal DNA, chromosomal mapping, the convenient production of genetic libraries, studies on the effects of various drugs on chromosomal DNA, and the convenient characterization of polymers.
  • the invention makes it possible to separate with a high degree of resolution and at high speeds larger particles (molecules) than those capable of resolution with prior art techniques, to concurrently separate particles which differ substantially in mass.
  • the invention makes it possible to lyse cells for electrophoretic separation of macromolecules contained in the cells with minimal degradation or breakage.
  • Electrophoresis in which particles such as a mixture of macromolecules are moved, e.g., through a gel matrix, by an electric field, is a widely used technique for qualitative analysis and for separation, recovery and purification. It is particularly important in the study of proteins, nucleic acids and chromosomes. See, e.g., Cantor, C. R. et al., Biophysical Chemistry, Freeman, 1980, Part 2, pp. 676, 683. Indeed, it is probably the principal tool used in most DNA and chromosomal analysis.
  • the size of the largest DNA molecule routinely handled is that of a bacteriophage (3.2 ⁇ 10 7 daltons).
  • a limit on size prevents many kinds of desirable analyses from being carried out.
  • intact chromosomal DNAs are larger and are typically reduced in size in order to make it possible to work with them. This, however, destroys important information encoded within the DNA and precludes many important experiments.
  • This invention is a significant departure from the established principles of electrophoresis and is based on the surprising discovery that electrophoresis through deliberately varied electric fields, rather than through the uniform fields sought in previously known electrophoresis methods, unexpectedly yields highly desirable results. More specifically, the invention is based on the discovery that desirable separation results when particles are subjected to respective electrical fields which move them in overall directions generally transverse to the respective general directions of the fields. Particularly desirable results are achieved in at least those cases examined to date when at least one of the electric fields has a deliberate intensity gradient in a direction transverse to its own. As a specific nonlimiting example, two fields can be used which alternate between respective high and low intensities out of phase with each other and are in directions transverse to each other.
  • one of the fields can be on while the other one is off, etc.
  • Particularly good results are obtained when the on and off times of the fields are related to the mass of the particles to be separated, e.g., when the on and off periods are proportional to the mass of the particles raised to a power of about 1.5.
  • the new technique can separate at high resolution particles whose mass is about 1.2 ⁇ 10 9 daltons, while the upper limit of previously known methods which provide lower resolution, is believed to be about 0.5 ⁇ 10 9 daltons. It is believed that the new technique can also resolve particles larger than 1.2 ⁇ 10 9 daltons.
  • Another important advantage is that in the new technique resolution is much less dependent on electric field intensity; consequently, the new kind of electrophoresis can be run at much higher speed, so long as heat produced can be effectively dissipated.
  • Another significant advantage of the new technique is that larger amounts of sample, as compared to the known prior art, can be used, thus giving increased resolution and sensitivity.
  • a further advantage is that the new technique can simultaneously resolve, in the same gel, particles from a wider mass range than is believed possible with prior art techniques. As a nonlimiting example, the new technique can resolve simultaneously, in the same gel, particles ranging in mass from about 10 6 to about 10 9 daltons. With previously known techniques several different gel concentrations would have been required to resolve particles in the narrower mass range from about 10 6 to about 10 8 daltons.
  • a technique has been found to minimize handling damage to cell-derived macromolecules by lysing cells or spheroplasts in a block of gel which is the same as, or compatible with, the electrophoresis gel, and implanting the entire block in the electrophoresis chamber.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective, partly cut-away view of an electrophoresis chamber useful in explaining certain principles of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the same chamber.
  • FIG. 3 is a partly schematic and partly block diagram showing an interconnection of exemplary chamber electrodes.
  • FIGS. 4-7 illustrate exemplary electric fields acting in the electrophoresis chamber.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the movement of particles in the new kind of electrophoresis.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a hypothesized distortion and movement of a large DNA molecule through agarose gel under the influence of transverse electric fields acting out of phase.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates the hypothesized effect of a uniform electric field on a large DNA molecule in agarose gel.
  • FIG. 11 is similar to FIG. 10 but illustrates the hypothesized effect of an electric field which has a substantial intensity gradient in a direction transverse to the field direction.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates the circulation of cooled buffer through the electrophoresis chamber.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates the resolution obtained in an experimental example using the new kind of electrophoresis.
  • FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a mold used for lysing cells or spheroplasts in situ in gel blocks which are later inserted into matching wells in the electrophoresis gel.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary laboratory device useful in explaining certain principles of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 in a perspective, partly cut-away view, and in FIG. 2 in a top plan view. It comprises an open-top, rectangular electrophoresis chamber 10 made of an electrically insulating material, such as 1/4" plexiglass, with dimensions approximately 4" ⁇ 4". It supports on its bottom a layer of a medium 12, such as the agarose gel commonly used in electrophoresis, surrounded by electrodes 14.
  • the electrodes are thin (0.032") platinum wires which extend vertically about 3/4" each and are arranged about 1.5 cm apart as seen in the top plan view of FIG. 2.
  • the electrode wires can enter the chamber through respective holes arranged in a horizontal row about 3/4" above the interior bottom of the chamber, with each wire extending down, along a respective interior side wall, to the interior bottom of the chamber.
  • electrodes 14 are interconnected as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a d-c power supply 16 (such as Biorad Model 500) supplies d-c power to relay 18 (such as a DPDT, 115 volt a-c relay) which is controlled by a programmable timer 20 (such as a Lindberg Enterprises Chrontrol 4-Channel CT Series) to connect a selected one of its two pairs of outputs to the d-c power from supply 16.
  • One output pair of relay 18 (consisting of a negative and a positive output terminal) is connected to the top and bottom rows of electrodes 14 (as seen in FIG. 3), through a respective diode for each electrode. However, it is only when a switch 22 is closed that all the electrodes of the top row are connected to the negative output terminal of relay 18; when switch 22 is open, only the rightmost electrode 14 is so connected.
  • the other pair of relay 18 output terminals is similarly connected to the left and right rows of electrodes 14, using a similar switch 24 for the corresponding purpose.
  • Variable resistors R can be used to vary the relevant voltages, as can the controls of power supply 16.
  • the controls of timer 20 determine when a particular pair of relay 18 terminals is energized and when it is de-energized.
  • a substantially uniform electrical field E is established across the bottom of the electrophoresis chamber, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 4.
  • the short arrows in FIG. 4 are uniform in length, to indicate the substantial uniformity of the field, and the longer arrow indicates the general direction of the field (from positive to negative electrodes).
  • the electric field illustrated in FIG. 5 is somewhat fan-shaped, but still has a general direction, illustrated by the longer arrow, which can be viewed as the vector sum of the individual fields that are due to the respective potential differences between the upper right-hand corner electrode and the individual electrodes of the bottom row.
  • the intensity gradient of interest is in a direction transverse to the general field direction, as shown by arrow G, and is due to the fact the distance between the upper righthand corner electrode and the electrodes of the bottom row increases (and the intensity per unit volume or unit area of the individual fields hence decreases) as one moves to the left along the bottom row, as is indicated by the decreasing lengths of the shorter arrows.
  • transverse as used in this specification is not limited to an angle of, or close to, 90°, but includes other substantial angles of intersection.
  • the term “transverse” is again meant to exclude only angles which resulted from spurious events or from the inability of prior art devices to have the electrophoretic movement coincide with the desired field direction.
  • operationally significant intensity gradient means here a gradient which is sufficient to enable the relevant fields to move the relevant particles in the direction transverse to the general field directions, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates this hypothesis by showing a randomly coiled DNA molecule which is pushed into an agarose gel matrix by a uniform electric field E' and is squeezed into the gel by being formed into an elongated cylindrical shape (snake).
  • This snake is then subjected to a uniform electric field E" and is gradually distorted away from its initial snake shape until it forms a new snake, this time oriented along the general direction of field E", etc., so that its overall direction of movement is along the approximate vector sum of the directions of fields E' and E".
  • This initial hypothesis has been modified, however, by a later belief that long chain macromolecules such as DNA probably do not snake when their radius of gyration is greater than the effective gel pore radius. Instead, such macromolecules probably condense to a shape more akin to a "beer can" than a snake, as is illustrated in FIG.
  • a frequency at which the change from one field to another should occur is related to the time it takes the particle (molecule) of interest to orient itself into the desired elongated cylindrical or snake shape, and that this time t is related to the mass of the particle (the molecular weight) M, the effective pore radius of the gel r, and the measured velocity of the particle in the gel v, in accordance with the relationship t ⁇ M 1 .5 /(r 2 v).
  • the term "pulse time” refers to pulse width, i.e., the time interval over which one of the fields is on (or high) while the other one is off (or low).
  • fields of the type and voltage levels illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 were used, i.e., both fields had intensity gradients.
  • EXAMPLE B Yeast DNA
  • yeast various strains of yeast were grown to mid-log phase in 100 to 1000 ml of YPD (YPD: 1 g yeast extract, 2 g dextrose and 2 g bactopeptone added to 1 liter of distilled water).
  • Spheroplasts were made as described in Cryer et al., Progress in Cell Biology, Vol. 12, 1975, pp. 39-44. The spheroplasts were then lysed in NDS overnight at 50° C.
  • Yeast lysates were prepared in NDS with concentrations ranging from about 10 9 to 2 ⁇ 10 10 cells per ml of lysate. Generally, 90 microliters of lysate were loaded using a blue-tipped (1 ml capacity) Pipetman.
  • Example B The experimental conditions of Example B were used, except that gels were run in the dark and contained 0.5 micrograms per ml ethidium bromide in the gel as well as the circulation buffer, and pulse times were 30 and 45 seconds, using D-273 yeast lysates. Clear resolution of many chromosomes was obtained.
  • cells or spheroplasts (cells minus cell walls) can be suspended in agarose gel, and this gel can be poured into molds to form inserts. The inserts are then placed in lysing solution to lyse the suspended cells or spheroplasts, and then the intact inserts are placed snugly into matching wells in the electrophoresis gel.
  • the gel making up the inserts can be the same as, or compatible with, the electrophoresis gel.
  • FIG. 14 An illustrative mold used in this new technique is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 14, and comprises a pair of matching rectangular blocks 14a and 14b which can be secured in the illustrated configuration by means of screws 14c.
  • the top block 14a has a number of molding channels 14d which go through the entire thickness of the block, while the bottom block 14b is solid.
  • suitable agarose gel with suspended cells or spheroplasts is poured into the molding channels 14d and allowed to solidify.
  • the blocks 14a and 14b are then taken apart, and the insert blocks, such as 14e, are carefully extracted, placed in lysing material under conditions sufficient for staisfactory lysing, and are then carefully inserted snugly into matching wells formed in the electrophoresis gel, e.g., by a comb whose outer shape and dimension matches the molding channels 14d.
  • the following Example D illustrates electrophoresis using the new technique.
  • Yeast spheroplasts (10 10 to 10 11 cells per ml of 1% low gelling agarose in TBE) were suspended in agarose gel and poured into the mold channels to form inserts. The inserts were then placed into NDC at 50° C. overnight, thereby lysing the suspended spheroplasts.
  • Yeast cells, previously treated with mercaptoethanol were also suspended in 1% agarose gel, but in this case 75 microliters of a Zymolyase 5000 mixture (2 mg per ml 0.01M sodium phosphate, 50% glycerine) was added to the inset mixture prior to molding the inserts.
  • mice 3T3-R500 cells were lysed in 0.3 ml of NDS at 50° C. for four (4) days. The lysate were then loaded into 1.5% agarose cells in TBE and run at 200 Volts with 30 second pulsing. One diffuse band was obtained. It moved as if it had the molecular weight of intact double minute DNA (mol. wt. approx. 600 ⁇ 10 6 ). Marker was G phage (mol. wt. approx. 500 ⁇ 10 6 ).
  • yeast chromosomal DNA has for the first time been successfully separated and characterized by size.
  • Another use of the new technique is exploring the nature of DNA-gyrase complexes in E. coli supercoiled, chromosomal domains to map gyrase locations and thus provide tools for eucaryotic chromosome analysis.
  • the new technique is particularly advantageous when different molecules, such as different DNA molecules, are close to each other in mass.
  • the use of alternating fields each with an intensity gradient tends to sharpen resolution dramatically and allow unexpected resolution for molecules close to each other in mass.
  • Another use is resolving a great number of bands in the same gel, an important consideration when eucaryotic DNA is being analyzed.
  • Yet another use of the new kind of electrophoresis is to purify molecules such as enzymes, e.g., urokinase, myosins or hyaluronic cids so as to provide a purified sample which can serve as the basis for developing a way to produce the same or an equivalent molecule.

  • the desired field gradient can be produced in any number of ways, such as by selecting an appropriate shape for the relevant electrodes, by maintaining different electrode portions at different potentials or by the interaction of two or more fields.
  • more than two fields can be used, so long as the net effect is at least to act in the desired manner on a particle first in one direction, then in another direction transverse to the first, etc., so as to move the particle in a third direction transverse to the first two.
  • the new electrophoresis device it has been found desirable, in the above-described preferred exemplary embodiment of the new electrophoresis device, to have a number of discrete electrodes, and to interconnect them through devices (such as diodes) which allow current flow to each in only a selected direction.
  • devices such as diodes
  • the wire electrodes extend along the interior sidewalls of the chamber vertically, or nearly so, because such electrodes make it particularly convenient to generate the desired electrical fields, and because with such electrodes when they are long enough in the vertical direction it is possible to have several gel layers on top of each other, each containing samples of particles, and to subject all of them to substantially identical electric fields so as to carry out electrophoresis in all of them concurrently.
  • each electrode (or at least electrode of a selected plurality of electrodes) can have its own, switchable, power supply connection such that each can be selectively maintained at any positive or negative electrical potential within a selected range (or at ground). In some cases, as few as three electrodes will suffice, and two of them can be connected (intermittently) to the same potential, so long as they cooperate with each other to produce at least two electrical fields which have the desired characteristics (i.e., being transverse to each other).
  • the new kind of electrophoresis arrangement described above can make use of high frequency switching between transverse fields, e.g., at frequencies in the range from about 10 6 to about 10 9 Hz, superimposed on one or more steady, or more slowly switching fields such as the fields E, E1 and E2 discussed above. It is believed that the rapidly switching field or fields can help rotate (or orient) particles such as macromolecules in a desired manner while the steady or slowly switching field or fields can serve to move the particles in the desired overall direction.
  • This arrangement of rapidly switching fields and steady or slowly switching fields can in fact use as few as two transverse fields, at least one of them having a steady or slowly switching intensity component and a rapidly switching intensity component superimposed thereon.
  • mutually transverse fields E1 and E2 as in FIG. 7 can be used, but at least one of the electrodes can have superimposed on the illustrated squarewave voltage waveform, a much higher frequency voltage waveform of a selected amplitude, such as at a frequency from about 10 6 to about 10 9 Hz.
